China’s latest nuclear submarine can carry intercontinental ballistic missiles
Armageddon has come a step closer to reality. Even as US President Obama spoke recently of a world without nuclear weapons, China has introduced powerful nuclear submarines. The vessel is the Jin class Type 094 submarine that can carry intercontinental ballistic missiles. The submarine is about 390 feet long, of which the missile compartment makes up roughly 80 feet. The submarine can easily carry 16
missiles, each with multiple warheads. In other words, enough nuclear weapons to affect all of India.
